Giannitsa ((ギリシア語:Γιαννιτσά), in English also Yannitsa, Yenitsa) is the largest city in the regional unit of Pella and the capital of the Pella municipality, in the region of Central Macedonia in northern Greece.〔(Kallikratis law ) Greece Ministry of Interior 〕 Its population is 31,983 people (2011 census). The community of Giannitsa includes a few outlying villages (Mesiano, Melissi, Pentaplatanos, Archontiko, Ampelies and Damiano). The municipality as a whole includes many villages and has 63,122 inhabitants. The city is located in the center of Macedonia between Mount Paiko and the plain of Giannitsa, and is the economic, commercial and industrial center of the Pella regional unit. European route E86 (Greek National Road 2) runs along the south of the city. The former shallow, swampy, and variable-sized Giannitsa Lake or Loudias Lake, fed by the Loudias River and south of the city, was drained in 1928-1932 by the New York Foundation Company. About from Giannitsa are the ruins of ancient Pella, birthplace of Alexander the Great and capital of ancient Macedonia.
